The Mt.Zion Church Cemetery is located north of Rural Retreat, Virginia, at the east end of Crawfish Valley. From Staley's Crossroads, drive north on route # 680 to route # 625. Turn left on #625 and drive into the valley. Take the left fork at the Gullion's Fork Bridge, and the church is on the right just a short distance past Gullion's Fork Bridge.
Like other old cemeteries, there are many unmarked graves. A more up to date list may be obtained from Ms. Virgie Holston, who lives a bit west of the church.
